Speaker A
To improve my grades, my mother forced me to follow the schedule of the top student across from us.
Speaker A
Whenever he studied until a certain time, I had to study until the same time.
Speaker A
But after only one night, I could no longer hold on.
Speaker A
To make my life less exhausting, I decided to get the boy together with the school beauty.
Speaker A
I even imitated his handwriting and wrote a love letter for him.
Speaker A
Because of my efforts, their relationship quickly made progress.
Speaker A
Listening to my classmates' rumors, I went to the balcony and quietly waited.
Speaker A
I waited until late into the night, but the light in the boy's house never turned on again.
Speaker A
From that day on, I finally lived a much easier life.
Speaker A
Even my mother could no longer do anything about it.
Speaker A
But for some reason, the school beauty suddenly transferred away.
Speaker A
The light in the boy's house finally turned on again.
Speaker A
My beautiful dream was completely shattered.
Speaker A
So, I started studying again, and I studied later and later every day.
Speaker A
But this was not completely a bad thing.
Speaker A
Under such intense pressure, even a poor student like me was admitted to one of the top universities in the country.
Speaker A
The boy was admitted as well, but because of a mistake, he ended up in the same major as me.
Speaker A
However, the small town still held a farewell party for us.
